spreading the word of dotnet

Hi,

I'm a MCAD who is 1 test away from MCSD (studying for 70-229, just
passed the 70-300) and I have recently started a new job at a company
that is not currently using .NET.

I have been tasked with giving a series of presentations to the
programmers at my company, in an effort to warm them up to the notion
of using .NET.

The first one will be a HIGH level overview, basically citing the
benefits of .NET (specifically VB.NET) and how its different than
classic VB, etc.

These are mostly Green Screen (mainframe) programmers, some of whom
have never even used regular VB... although I think a few have.

I'm not looking for anyone to write the presentation for me, BUT... if
there are some resources any of you have found helpful for this sort
of thing, some links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone,

Chris

Hi, I created a COM AddIn for Word that performs the functions that it needs to, but I needed to add the ability for the toolbar created by the COM AddIn to remember it's last position and whether it was docked or not. I added the following code to my "OnConnection" function but it fails with an error, "Run-time exception thrown : System.IO.IOException - Bad file name or number." With applicationObject.CommandBars("SampleToolbar")

Following up, I've found success at last with Aspose, combining both Aspose.Word to create an xml file, and then and Aspose.Pdf to create the pdf file. This works out to be quite a considerable additional expense, though, with single-licence costs of AU$790 for Aspose.Word and AU$526 for Aspose.Pdf. I've tried to use the Word-generated xml document (thinking that I might be able to do something with microsoft.office.interop.word) as...

How do I go about doing this? Basically I have a field where the user inputs a doctors name, a field where the user inputs the doctors bio, and then a picturebox where they select an image from their hard disk. I need all this info to be saved into a Word template, but I'm not sure how to do it. I program in C++, but I have had some experience with VB.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
